Flaming Lips singer Wayne Coyne has revealed that he thinks Oasis and Arctic Monkeys are too British for American audiences.

The rocker said that he believes both bands are too much of an acquired taste to be accepted across the Atlantic.

"I've never got Arctic Monkeys, they seem too much like a British thing to me. They're like Oasis whereby Americans can't really relate to them," he told the Daily Star.

"Lots of British people like it but not for me, and I don't like Razorlight or Duffy much either."

However, the frontman added that he does like some British acts, saying: "I prefer Radiohead, they deserve to win a Grammy. And I'm still a fan of Amy Winehouse but hope she doesn't become too much of a drug addict."
